Oxidation of Secondary Alcohol to Ketone

R₂CHOH + [O] → R₂CO + H₂O

ภาพรวม

Secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones by various oxidizing agents. Unlike primary alcohols, secondary alcohols cannot be over-oxidized because ketones lack the C-H bond needed for further oxidation. The Jones reagent (CrO₃/H₂SO₄) is a standard reagent for this transformation.
